Evangelos Charatsis
Chairman & Managing Director of BETA Securities S.A.
I was born in 1962 in Athens. After obtaining my BSc in Accounting and Finance from the American College of Greece (Deree College), I continued my studies at City University Business School (Bayes Business School), where I earned my MSc in Shipping, Trade & Finance.
I then worked at Barclays Bank in the dealing room, focusing on the foreign exchange and interbank markets. I continued my career at Tsakos Shipping & Trading, where I worked in the chartering department, primarily dealing with oil tankers.
In 1990, I founded the investment advisory firm BETA Investment Consultants, which in 1995 evolved into BETA Securities S.A., where I have served as Chairman, CEO, and major shareholder to this day.
For the past six years, I have also been the General Secretary of the Hellenic Association of Stockbroking Firms (SMEXA), and I have previously served as a board member of the Hellenic Investor Compensation Fund.
